Effects of reducing dietary cation-anion difference on lactation performance and nutrient digestibility of lactating cows and ammonia emissions from manure

ABSTRACT: Reducing the dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) reduces urine pH and, therefore, has potential to lower NH3 emissions from manure. We determined the effects of decreased DCAD on dry matter intake, production, nutrient digestibility, manure characteristics, and NH3 emissions from manure...
